An expressive serif with sharp, forked terminals and spur-like projections that give strokes a cut-with-a-pen character. Stems are generally sturdy with moderate thick–thin modulation, and many joins taper into pointed wedges rather than blunt serifs. Bowls and curves feel slightly angular and carved, with irregular, lively contours that create a textured rhythm in words. Capitals are decorative without becoming overly dense, while the lowercase stays compact and slightly narrow in feel, reinforcing a tight, patterned color on the line.
Best suited to display settings such as titles, chapter heads, posters, and book or game cover typography where its ornate terminals remain crisp and legible. It can also work for short editorial pull quotes or themed packaging, especially when a historical or fantasy mood is desired rather than a plain reading texture.
The overall tone evokes medieval and early-print traditions—dramatic, handcrafted, and a little mischievous. Its spurs and dagger-like endings suggest fantasy, folklore, and ceremonial styling more than modern neutrality, giving text a distinctive, theatrical voice.
The design appears intended to reinterpret old-style, calligraphic serif forms with added spurs and forked endings to heighten character. Its goal is to deliver a distinctly historical, decorative texture while keeping letterforms recognizable and usable in headline-length text.
The font relies on distinctive terminal shapes and small mid-stem spurs to carry personality, so it reads best when those details have room to show. Numerals share the same pointed, flared finishing, helping mixed text maintain a consistent historic flavor.
